3 month Post-Op

Last Thursday I had my three-month follow-up appointment.  The doctor and dietician were really impressed with my progress and are happy with all that I'm able to eat right now.  I was reminded that I'm still not completely healed - it takes up to 6 months for that to happen.  Which I need to keep in mind.  Another friend of mine who had the surgery a few days after me ended up in the hospital a couple of weeks ago with complications from the surgery.  So I still need to be careful and take care of myself.

I purchased something last week that was recommended on our Facebook Support Group.  It's called PB2. It's basically a powdered peanut butter.  It has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter and more protein.  So I add this to my protein shakes now.  The only store we've been able to find it at is Kroger in the states.  I hope they get it in Canada soon!

Well this is going to be a quick post - just want to do my weekly update.  All last week I had a stall, which I was totally okay with.  I've been waiting for the stall and eager to get it over with.  So I didn't lose any weight until Saturday. On Saturday I lost and pound and yesterday I lost another one.  So this past week I'm down 2 pounds.  Good to see the scale moving again.  Even though the scale wasn't moving though, I know I was still losing weight because I could feel it in my clothes.  So to all of you out there who rely on the scale for "proof" of weightloss, be assured that if it doesn't move, it doesn't mean you're not losing.  Just do the right things (eat properly, exercise) and the weight will come off!  Have a great week everyone.

Total Loss: 84 lbs
